Li Dong did not set up a platform like Software Butler on a whim.
After all, as Far Away Mall's business increased, promotion would be a big problem.
Currently, Far Away already had Far Away Mall, PP, Wantoon, and Weibo, which would soon be successfully developed.
With so many applications, when the era of smartphones arrived, they could not possibly bind all the major mobile phone manufacturers.
With more mobile terminals, the major manufacturers would not agree to it, and the promotion fees would not be low.
Coupled with the bundled software, it would not be a big problem in the early stages, but it would be criticized later on.
However, Software Butler was different. This was a form of soft promotion. All Li Dong needed to do was to bind a software, and it did not specifically refer to Far Away.
When the time came, he only needed to put the various Far Away applications at the top of the home page, and people would naturally choose Far Away.
Especially in the early stages of smartphones, people did not have many choices. Li Dong felt that he could still seize this opportunity.
Of course, all of this was just his prediction.
As for whether he could achieve this effect, he would see. Anyway, he had tried his best.
…
Shen Qian's office.
Li Dong pushed the door open and entered. Shen Qian looked up and said, "I thought you would go home first. Why didn't you go back to rest after running around for so many days?"
Li Dong found a place to sit down and said casually, "I have some matters to settle at the company."
Shen Qian did not continue talking about this and asked, "Is it going well in Sichuan?"
"Giving money for free. Do you think it's going well? Of course, it's going well when it's giving money, but it's hard to say what happens next. 500 million is not a small amount. Even if everyone is watching, some people might want to take the risk. "
When Li Dong said this, he felt a little helpless. Sometimes, it was not easy to do things in the country.
It was clearly doing charity and giving money for free, but if he really did it, he would not be able to escape this.
This time, there were many people watching, and Li Dong's own reputation. Otherwise, even if he gave money, it would not be so easy.
After all, the money wasn't going to those people, and they didn't care if you were doing it for charity.
Shen Qian didn't care too much about this. She smiled and said, "In any case, your goal has been achieved. I think the rest is enough."
In her opinion, Li Dong had bled this time to sue for peace.
Now that he had spent the money, his goal was naturally accomplished.
As for charity, that was just a side effect.
Li Dong glanced at her and muttered, "Don't you have any kindness? I'm doing good deeds, how can I be fooled? "
Shen Qian broke into laughter and shook her head, "Up to you. But you are not in Sichuan after all. You can't possibly keep an eye on them all the time. You should let others take advantage of you in the long run. Your personality has been like this for so many years, but it's still the same. It's not good to be too stubborn. How many times have you suffered? Why are you still like this? "
"I've restrained my temper now. Look at it yourself, how long has it been since I beat someone up?"
Shen Qian was speechless and rolled her eyes. Does not beating people mean that he has restrained himself?
Furthermore, he had even beaten up Sun Manman in Beijing at the end of last year.
Shen Qian couldn't be bothered to scold him anymore. She stood up and stretched her body, saying, "This time, we have spent a lot of money to promote our farm. The mall expansion, other companies moving in, investing in the data center. The 500 million investment is almost gone."
"It's gone again?"
Li Dong was a little jealous, saying, "You guys are spending too much."
"What do you mean we are spending too much?"
Shen Qian said angrily, "That's because you are spending too much! Do you know how much a game's marketing budget is? 100 million, and this is just the beginning. I have never seen you spending so much money. What expression will you have when I see it? "
"What expression will I have? It's fine if it's not much. Since it's decided, why should I care so much?" Li Dong continued, "Also, I had just discussed with Liu Hong and the rest. We will continue to develop another software, and the investment will not be low."
"Is it the software platform you mentioned?"
"Yes."
Shen Qian rubbed her forehead and sighed, "You have already decided. What else can I say? But it seems you have to prepare the money. If not, don't blame me for not reminding you when the funds are cut off. "
"The initial cost should not be too high. The mall's profits should be enough."
"Don't forget about your Weibo account! These things do not have any profits in the early stages, and you will need to spend money. So far away from now, it will be tough. "
"It's not that bad. Furthermore, we are not short of money now."
Feng Yu had not finished spending the previous 9 billion. With so much money, it should be able to last for a while.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Shen Qian said with a faint smile, "You don't lack money? You think you can afford to spend the money like this? Oh, I forgot to tell you. The funds we can use now is not more than 500 million. "
"No way! You are eating money! "
Li Dong was shocked. 9 billion, not a few hundred million. How could they spend it so fast!
Shen Qian snorted, "Just paying off the debt and the initial purchase cost almost 5 billion. The remaining 4 billion is to maintain the expansion of Lu Province, Zhejiang Province, Gan Province, Hubei Province, and Shancheng. Plus, the mall is also spending money, and Dongyu is buying back properties. Do you think we have money left? "
Li Dong rubbed his head. He was annoyed with the money.
Li Dong sighed and asked, "Then there is no place that needs money now, right?"
"Not yet, but soon." Shen Qian reminded, "Suning is moving fast. I am afraid they have spent more than half of the initial investment of 3 billion. Our money must be prepared here. Otherwise, once the money is spent, we will not be able to keep up in the future. Then it will be troublesome. "
"Damn, so fast!" Li Dong frowned and said, "Doesn't that mean that the bet agreement was exchanged for about three months of time?"
"Now you know how stupid you are, right?"
Li Dong was speechless, "Don't attack me. Besides, it has delayed us for a few months. Otherwise, how can I have the money to expand?"
Although Suning only lasted for a few months, it was the most difficult time for Li Dong.
These few months could be regarded as a life-saving straw.
Otherwise, the corporate bonds had not been issued, the stocks had not been cashed out, and the debt was about to mature. Where could he get the money to expand?
The earlier he expanded, the earlier he could make money to seize the market. Now, time was getting tighter every day. If he dragged it for a few months, a lot of things would be delayed.
"So, I have to prepare to raise money again." Li Dong sighed, "If Sichuan Airlines can confirm it, I am afraid it will be soon."
As long as the two sides reached a cooperation agreement, Sichuan Airlines would have to spend money soon.
The total investment between Suning and Sichuan Airlines alone was almost 5 billion.
So far, there was only 500 million funds on the books. Even if he waited for a few months and made a few hundred million profits, it would only be about 1 billion. This gap was a bit big.
Li Dong calculated for a while. Dong Yu bought back a lot of properties, and almost all the properties that were sold to Yao Hong were bought back.
If he sold them now, there should be 2 billion. After all, the housing prices had increased a lot.
2 billion plus the profits and the money on the books, when it was time to use the money, it would be about 3 billion. In other words, he still needed 2 billion funds.
Li Dong did not plan to sell the land in the Xicheng District. At least, he would wait until the Xinqiao Airport plan was finalized. But by that time, it would probably be the end of the year.
Shen Qian saw him frowning and comforted him, "If it really can't be done, we can get a loan."
"Loan? Can so much money do it? "
"Just mortgage the land of the Distance building, as well as the Greenland building."
Li Dong thought for a while and nodded, "If there is no other way, this is the only way."
The land Far away Building and the Far away Building were now worth a lot of money.
At the beginning, Li Dong spent less than 100 million to buy the land. Including the construction of the building, the total cost was less than 300 million.
Now, just the land alone was more than this price. 60 acres of land in the business district near the first subway line, the land was probably worth at least 300 million.
Coupled with the building and the continuous investment and expansion in the future, the current value of the Far away Headquarters was probably close to 1 billion.
Adding the Greenland Building, it was less than 2 billion, not too far off.
Of course, it was hard to say how much they could borrow. After all, this was only their own valuation, and the bank might not necessarily recognize it.
Li Dong did not think about it anymore. After all, there were still a few months. He would think about it when the time came.
Maybe he would have money by then. Who could say for sure?
After chatting with Shen Qian for a while, seeing that it was getting late, Li Dong asked, "Let's go back together?"
"Do you think I am so free? You go back first. I still have a lot of things to deal with here. Chatting with you has wasted a lot of my time. "
Li Dong rolled his eyes and said, "I am free? I just came back from Sichuan. I almost died of exhaustion from going to the countryside. How can I be free? Also, I have a lot of things to do this month. Maybe I have to go to Shancheng. In June, I have to go to Beijing. My classes are not over yet. Do you think I am free? "
"You asked for it. You didn't have to go to Sichuan. Who asked you to have such a big mouth?" Shen Qian joked.
Li Dong rolled his eyes at her. He was too lazy to continue to argue with her. He got up and said, "Then I will go first. I have an appointment tonight."
Shen Qian asked curiously, "Is it a man or a woman?"
Li Dong rarely went out to meet people at night. Now that he just came back, he went out to meet a guest. Of course, she was curious.
"Look at how petty you are, Hsu Shengzhe." Li Dong laughed and said, "I haven't been back for a few days. I want to ask about the situation. I want to see if I can take over Men Shen and Yurun this time. I can take advantage of them to make up for my loss. "
Shen Qian glared at him. "You are the petty one. I am just asking casually."
Shen Qian thought for a while and said, "Men Shen is not a big problem. But I think we should not touch Yurun for the time being. Zhu Yicai has a strong foundation in Sunan. Let's not talk about whether we can take over his business in Jiangbei. Even if you take over his business in Jiangbei, you will not be the only one taking it. We will not get much benefit. Instead, we will offend him. "
Yurun not only has connections in Sunan, but also in Jiangbei.
After all, Zhu Yicai came from Jiangbei. When he failed to start a business here, he had to leave his hometown to develop in Sunan.
However, when he became successful and famous, he returned to Jiangbei, and his connections naturally came.
Otherwise, Yurun would not have invested so much in Jiangbei in the past few years.
This time, he was caught off guard by Li Dong. Otherwise, Zhu Yicai would not be so embarrassed.
"You are right, but let's talk about this later. It depends on the situation. If there are benefits, I will not let it go. That guy has nothing better to do than to find trouble with me. I can't let him get away so easily. "
Li Dong smiled and was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something. He turned around and asked, "Is your mother still in Jiangbei?"
Shen Qian shook her head and said, "No, she went back a long time ago."
"Didn't she say anything?"
Shen Qian did not ask for Far away's shares, and he did not give Szentai's shares to Shen Xuehua. Li Dong felt that the woman would not let it go so easily.
Now, she left without saying a word, which was not a good sign.
Shen Qian sighed slightly and said, "Don't worry about this. If she comes to you again, tell me. If it doesn't work, you can use Szentai's shares to replace the one billion yuan. In this way, you can relax, and I can also relax a lot. "
Because of the one billion yuan, Li Dong had always felt that he owed Shen Qian.
Now that he used Szentai's shares to cancel the debt, everyone could breathe a sigh of relief.
Moreover, without the entanglement of interests, the relationship between the two could be purer.
Otherwise, because of this money, Shen Qian felt that sooner or later, there would be unforeseen events.
When she gave the money to Li Dong in the beginning, she did not think about returning it, and she did not even think about getting it back.
But there were some things that she could not do as she wanted. Even if she did not care about the one billion yuan, there would always be someone who would care.
Those people of the Shen Corporation were watching eagerly. She could ignore others, but it was not a good thing for her mother to make trouble all day long. It was better to put an end to those people's ambitions.
The one who really suffered a loss was probably Shen Qian. After all, she had withdrawn from the Shen Corporation. Now, it was not easy to say whether she could use Szentai's shares to exchange for those shares.
Hearing this, Li Dong frowned. After a while, he said, "Let's talk about it later. If it doesn't work, we can only do this."
Li Dong, Shen Xuehua, was really difficult to deal with. She was Du Anmin's wife and Shen Qian's mother.
He could not deal with her like he dealt with others this time. If he really did that, it would be a big trouble.
As for the Szentai's shares, if Shen Xuehua really wanted to continue to make trouble, then she could forget about it.
She would take back Baidu's shares first. As for Shen Qian's money, whether she could get it from the Shen Corporation or not, Li Dong would not really let her suffer such a big loss.
Without saying too much to Shen Qian, Li Dong said as he walked, "Then I'll go first. I won't go back for dinner tonight. If you have nothing to do, go to my place to have dinner with Little Shitou and the others."
"Well, I got it." Shen Qian responded.
It was not until Li Dong went out that Shen Qian rubbed her head.
Her mother's side was not as simple as she made it out to be. Ever since she rejected Distance's shares, Shen Xuehua had almost died of anger.
It was not until Shen Qian promised to give her Szentai's shares that Shen Xuehua gave up.
This was why Shen Qian told Li Dong to repay the money with Szentai's shares. In this way, Li Dong would not lose anything, and her mother would be satisfied. It was a win-win situation.
